What is happening in this code

[vb89]

Can someone please explain to me what is happening in the following code:

<SELECT name="cf" class="data" onchange="this.form.cftxt.value=this.options[this.selectedIndex].text;">
		<OPTION value="">Select Conference</OPTION>
		<%tempDivId = 0
		Set rsConf = SPSSconn.Execute(tConfSQL)
		Do While Not rsConf.eof 
			tempConfId = CInt(rsConf(0))
			If (tempDivId <> CInt(rsConf("cfb_division_id"))) Then
	            If (CInt(rsConf("cfb_division_id")) = 1) Then
					Response.Write "<OPTION value="""">-------- Division I-A ----------</OPTION>"
				Else
					Response.Write "<OPTION value="""">-------- Division I-AA ----------</OPTION>"
				End If
				tempDivId = CInt(rsConf("cfb_division_id"))
			End If
			%>
			<OPTION value="<%=tempConfId%>" <%If iConfID = tempConfId Then%>selected<%End If%>><%=rsConf(1)%> (<%=rsConf(2)%>)</OPTION>
		<%rsConf.movenext
  		Loop
  		rsConf.close
  		Set rsConf = Nothing%>

are you sure this is an asp.net project, because this looks alot like asp.

the developer was using html and server code to generate a drop down list. however if this is asp.net there are much easier ways of doing this.

the first option is blank (select conference)
the next option will iterate over a record set and enter either Division 1 or 2 options. the very last option is selected by default if some criteria is met.

after all that the record set is closed set to nothing.
